Taya P. in Santa Monica is bomb ditty bomb! Taya P is a masterful injector and inspired me to feel ."Not all injectors are created equal to Taya !" Whether she is suggesting the latest lasers ultherapy, fillers, botox, xeomin, kybella, active fx, exilis I can know I am in safe hands and end up looking beautiful. Within a few days of any treatment here with Taya P. men start asking me out which puts a smile on my face. Everyone here in Santa Monica is lovely and beautiful inside and out. There's just no reason to not have bea... read more

Rita was an outstanding esthetician. She is an expert and I believe she will help me take care of my skin.

I took my teenager with acne to Dr. Shamban's office. The PA we saw who deals with acne is Renee. The appointment went great. They have a really nice office and everyone was really helpful. We got most the products there at the time of the appointment. I was surprised at how reasonable the pricing of Shamban's products were. They gave my son a sample of the prescription he needed so he was able to start immediately. I am very optimistic about the whole process and working with Renee to fix my son's problem.

Do not go here! – I have never written a review before but I had such a horrible experience I was compelled to share it. I would give this place 0 stars if that was an option. I went in because I noticed a rash on my stomach which someone named Lisa diagnosed as a virus. She told me there was nothing to do about it - it could take weeks or even months to go away and would get worse and spread to my chest, arms, etc. I told her I had a wedding and a vacation coming up and if there was anything I could do... She said no and th... read more

definitely not!! – Unfortunately the office is less like a medical practice and more like a used car sales lot. The are very good on the sales end but their work can be questionable and they do not stand behind it. Dr. Shambam is out of the office a great deal so do not plan on seeing her unless you have celebrity status. I would be careful with injections too - I saw a woman coming out the other day who looked like she had a tough day and her face was completely distorted. I overheard her on the phone when she said they cou... read more

Ava Shamban, My Hero – I recently had facial laser treatment that left me disfigured after 5 weeks. My face had a significant scar under my left eye and a small scar under my right eye. My skin was red, uneven, and blotchy on both sides of my face. I travelled over 100 miles to see Ava Shamban to help me. She has been simply amazing. Although she is an extremely succesfull doctor with a busy practice, I have found her to be extremely kind and compassionate. I am not a celebrity, but she always seems to find time in her sched... read more

I was totally happy with my recent experience at Dr. Shamban's office, altho I didnt' see her (I saw a physician's assistant). I was treated promptly and couretously by the staff and all my questions (mostly about insurance) were answered right away. My skin problem was medical in nature as opposed to cosmetic, and fortunately has cleared up and shouldn't reoccur. Now I'd like to return to the Laser Institute for some cosmetic work! All in all very professional.
